Molecular Stability

Meaning

The inherent characteristic of a molecule, such as a hormone or a drug compound, to resist decomposition, degradation, or unwanted chemical transformation under specific physiological or storage conditions. High molecular stability is a crucial parameter in pharmacology, ensuring that a therapeutic agent maintains its intended chemical structure and biological activity over time. This property directly impacts the shelf life, bioavailability, and efficacy of pharmaceutical and nutritional compounds.
